Exploring new voices and stories in the AAPI community
The CATS Annual Playwright Festival
The AAPI Playwright Festival is dedicated to amplifying the voices of Asian American and Pacific Islander playwrights. Through a series of staged readings and performances, the festival provides a platform for both emerging and established writers to share their stories, perspectives, and creativity. By showcasing original works, the festival fosters dialogue, promotes cultural representation, and strengthens the AAPI theater community. Whether you’re a theater enthusiast, an artist, or an advocate for diverse storytelling, the AAPI Playwright Festival is a space to experience bold, thought-provoking narratives that celebrate the richness of AAPI experiences.
